    TBH, just buy a DXC. They are not expensive.

    Commercially disappointing conduct, IMO.

    Exactly, regardless of whatever else is in the video (including promoting Callum's fine kit)---at least putting "clone" or "DIY version" would have avoided this major faux pas in the heading.;)

    That is of no relevance here---the heading as is is misleading from the get go (see my recent post above).

    Agreed, although I must confess I usually only refer to them as Yagis (at least I always capitalize his name :))

    Bravo, Chip! You keep hitting the nail squarely on the head here. Many are missing the point entirely, unfortunately.

    Probably so*---but poorly worded "hook" (title).

    *(I look forward to watching the video when I return from a long journey)

    Meh... why the silly look?

    ... and I'd rather just hang a G5RV.

    I just wonder what you get out of copying someone else's hard graft......totally unethical.

    I think he got an antenna out if it. Much like anyone who ever made a G5RV, Moxon, VK2ABQ, ZS6BKW, W8JK, ZL Special, etc, etc and "copied someone's hard graft".

    I found the video entertaining. I went out and bought a DX Commander +80m after watching it. The video saved me from trying to do something crazy like building a DIY clone too. I am still working on tuning it but I am glad I bought it vs trying to source all the parts myself.
